Merrill first thught abut ging t schl part-time t get a degree， but later she decided t fllw her dream f attending medical schl. Certainly， it was a challenge. Speaking f her successfully returning t university， Merrill thught it was credited t her family largely."When I was accepted at the May Clinic Alix Schl f Medicine， we mved frm Pennsylvania t Arizna，" said Merrill， wh is mving t Indiana with her family t begin her residency （实习期） in neursurgery."In fact， they vlunteered these mvements. I knw it was tugh fr all f us."
Merrill and her children ften have "hmewrk parties" where they study fr their wn curses. Merrill’s chice has given a fillip t her children. Merrill felt tuched knwing her 11-year-ld daughter wants t becme a surgen and verhearing her sn tell his friends his mm’s ging t be a cl brain surgen， thugh he desn’t understand that really.
Merrill’s next step int a neursurgery residency will take her int a male-dminated field where nly 5％ f bard certified neursurgens are wmen. Dr. Michele Halyard at the May Clinic Alix Schl f Medicine said Merrill was knwn as a fcused student. Halyard said， "If yu can deal with nine children and keep yur reasn， the residency shuld be a piece f cake because n amunt f stress will make yu fail."
Merrill had cnsidered chsing a mre family-friendly specialty， but， again， chse t dream big and fllw her riginal pursuit. It’s the same advice she wuld give t all."Set the gal that is what yu’re really enthusiastic abut， and it helps t think small. If yu knw what yur pririties are， fcus n the next step. Then yu’ll get where yu want t g."
本文是记叙文。 Sarah Merrill是一位有9个孩子的妈妈，在她最小的孩子只有4岁时，Merrill决定追逐梦想上医学院。获得医学学位后，Merrill选择成为一名神经外科医生。
【词语积累】 male-dminated adj.男性主宰的
reasn n.理智，理性，判断力
a piece f cake轻而易举的事，举手之劳

A. T shw the supprt f her family.
B. T stress her determinatin t be a dctr.
C. T reflect difficulties in attending cllege.
D. T describe the prcess f pursuing her dream.
解析 A 推理判断题。由第二段中的"Speaking f her successfully returning t university， Merrill thught it was credited t her family fact， they vlunteered these mvements"可知，Merrill认为她能成功回到校园主要归功于她的家人，为了方便她学习，Merrill一家从宾夕法尼亚州搬到亚利桑那州，现在为了她的工作又要搬到印第安纳州，并且这么多次搬家是她的家人主动提出的。由此可推断，Merrill提到搬家是为了说明家人的支持。
2.What des the underlined wrd "fillip" in paragraph 3 mean？
A. Entertainment.B. Inspiratin.
C. Cmmitment.D. Cnfusin.
解析 B 词义猜测题。由画线词后的"knwing her 11-year-ld daughter wants t becme a he desn’t understand that really"可知，Merrill 11岁的女儿想成为一名外科医生，她的儿子告诉朋友们他的妈妈会成为一名很酷的神经外科医生，由此可推断，Merrill决定成为一名神经外科医生的选择激励了孩子们。inspiratin"鼓舞人心的人（或事物）"与画线词含义相近。
3.What des Halyard mean？
A. Merrill will have mre stress t handle.
B. Staying fcused and sensible is key t success.
C. Being a mm makes Merrill a better dctr.

解析 D 推理判断题。由第四段中的"If yu can deal with nine children and keep yur reasn， the residency shuld be a piece f cake because n amunt f stress will make yu fail"可知，Halyard认为如果Merrill能应对9个孩子并保持理智，那么神经外科医生的实习期应该是小菜一碟，因为即使再多的压力也不会打倒她。由此可推断，她对Merrill通过实习期成为神经外科医生充满信心，故D项正确。
4.What des Merrill suggest at last？
A. Starting with small things.
B. Getting yur pririties right.
C. Being true t yur passin.
D. Having the curage t dream big.
解析 C 细节理解题。由最后一段中的"chse t dream big and fllw her riginal pursuit. It’s the same advice she wuld give t all" "Set the gal that is what yu’re really enthusiastic abut"可知，Merrill建议遵循最初的追求，设定真正热爱的目标，故C项正确。

In the digital age， pprtunities are arising fr everyne. Hwever， nly thse putting plans int actin can stay ahead. Alexandr Wang is ne such example.
Ls Alams Natinal Labratry was where Alexandr spent his childhd. Bth his parents were physicists there. Alexandr， frm a yung age， had a sharp mind. As a kid， he was regarded as a math wizard （奇才） and cmpeted in natinal math and cmputer cmpetitins. Finishing high schl， Alexandr entered MIT where machine learning and AI amazed him. He saw the ptential f AI， and was excited abut hw it culd change the wrld. But it wasn’t making a real impact. His ambitin t set up an enterprise cmmitted t that was seeded then.
At 17， he gt the rle f tech lead at Qura and drpped ut f MIT."I tld my parents it was just ging t be a thing I did fr the summer. Obviusly， it wasn’t，" Alexandr said. Surely， his parents were disappinted. They all knew he made that change filled with unexpected risks. But Alexandr said， "If yu aren’t willing t take a risk nw， then when？" Alexandr met Lucy Gu at Qura， with whm Alexandr funded Scale AI， a cnsiderable success.
In fact， at that time， there were varius pprtunities in the tech wrld. It was hard t decide which rad they shuld g dwn. Then he and his team decided t take a different apprach — instead f fllwing diverse paths， they agreed t fcus n ne. They went with "imagery， cmputer visin and ther kinds f sensr data". And that is what made the cmpany’s prfits rise quickly. Scale AI has a current net wrth f abut $7.3 billin， with Alexandr being the wrld’s yungest self-made billinaire.
When asked lessns he’d like t share with funders， Alexandr stated there are a number f things. "The tp ne is always ding things that are cnsistent with yur values and hw yu want t build a cmpany initially. When yu talk t investrs， they’ll cntribute advice that may g against yur bject. Figure ut yur fcus and what gets yu started."
本文是记叙文。Alexandr自幼被认为是一个数学奇才，高中毕业后他进入麻省理工学院。在那里，机器学习和人工智能吸引了他。后来为了追求自己的志向，他毅然辍学，后来白手起家，和Lucy Gu一起创建了公司Scale AI，成为全球最年轻的亿万富翁。

that引导定语从句，先行词为things。

其中hw引导宾语从句，该从句与yur values并列，作with的宾语
译文：最重要的是，要始终做与你的价值观和你最初创建公司时的规划一致的事情。
1.What inspired Alexandr t build Scale AI？

B. His experiences at university.
C. The influence f his parents.
D. His talent fr math and cmputer.
解析 B 细节理解题。由第二段中的"Alexandr entered MIT where machine ambitin t set up an enterprise cmmitted t that was seeded then"可知，Alexandr进入麻省理工学院后被机器学习和人工智能吸引，但是那时人工智能并没有产生真正的影响。于是他建立一家致力于利用人工智能改变世界的企业的雄心壮志在那时就萌芽了。
2.What is mainly talked abut in paragraph 4？
A. The key t the success f Scale AI.
B. Challenges f Alexandr’s career.
C. Alexandr’s great achievements.
D. The prcess f funding Scale AI.
解析 A 段落大意题。第四段讲了在Alexandr创建Scale AI时，科技界有很多机会，他很难决定他们应该选择哪条路。后来他和他的团队决定采取一种不同的方法——专注于一条路径，而不是选择多条路径。他们选择了"图像、计算机视觉和其他类型的传感器数据"，这就是该公司收益迅速上升的原因。"And that is what made the cmpany’s prfits rise quickly"是对本段中心的概括。由此可知，第四段主要介绍了Scale AI成功的关键。故选A。
3.What des Alexandr advise funders t d？
A. Stick t ne particular directin.
B. Keep an pen mind n suggestins.
C. Remain true t the riginal intentin.
D. Find a mtive fr starting a cmpany.
解析 C 推理判断题。由最后一段中的"The tp ne is always ding things that are cnsistent with... what gets yu started"可知，Alexandr建议创业者始终做与你的价值观以及最初创建公司时的规划一致的事情。当投资者给出与自己的目标不符的建议时，要弄清你的关注点以及你开始的动力，即要忠于自己的初衷，故C项正确。
4.Which f the fllwing can best describe Alexandr？
A. Clever and generus.
B. Curageus and utging.
C. Ambitius and sciable.
D. Adventurus and determined.
解析 D 推理判断题。由第二段中的"His ambitin t set up an enterprise ... was seeded then"和第三段中的"At 17， he gt the rle f tech lead at Qura and drpped ut f MIT""Alexandr ... funded Scale AI， a cnsiderable success"可推断，Alexandr创立一家人工智能公司的决心非常坚定；根据第三段中的"If yu aren’t willing t take a risk nw， then when？"和第四段中的"Then he and his n ne"可知，Alexandr敢于冒险、勇于尝试。由此可知，他意志坚定且敢于冒险，故D项正确。

4.Which f the fllwing can best describe Alexandr？
A. Clever and generus.
B. Curageus and utging.
C. Ambitius and sciable.

解析 D 推理判断题。由第二段中的"His ambitin t set up an enterprise ... was seeded then"和第三段中的"At 17， he gt the rle f tech lead at Qura and drpped ut f MIT""Alexandr ... funded Scale AI， a cnsiderable success"可推断，Alexandr创立一家人工智能公司的决心非常坚定；根据第三段中的"If yu aren’t willing t take a risk nw， then when？"和第四段中的"Then he and his n ne"可知，Alexandr敢于冒险、勇于尝试。由此可知，他意志坚定且敢于冒险，故D项正确。
